# Filebase

Filebase's InterPlanetary File System, or IPFS, is a decentralized peer-to-peer protocol that enables nodes to store and transfer files between one another. Mover can connect to IPFS through the S3-compatible interface.

## Add a <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> Connection

Create a new Connection and choose <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> for the connection type.

Provide a *Connection Label* so you can identify the connection in a list. This is especially important if you need more than one connection of the same type.

### Bucket Details

Fill the *Filebase Bucket Name* with the name of your bucket from your *Filebase web portal > Buckets* page.

### Credentials

Mover uses an Access Key and Secret Key to authenticate requests, following the protocol established by AWS for S3.

Use the [Access Keys dashboard](https://docs.filebase.com/api-documentation/s3-compatible-api#access-keys) in your Filebase account to create and manage your keypair.

Enter the Key in the *Filebase Access Key* field of the connection.

Put the Secret in the *Filebase Secret Key* field of the connection.

## <code class="expression">page.vars.VENDOR\_NAME</code> is Case Sensitive

Be aware of case sensitivity differences when copying, moving, or syncing files and folders between connections. Copying items from a system which is not case sensitive to another that is case sensitive could result in 1 item being treated as 2 different ones, such as attempting to overwrite `MyFile.txt` with `myfile.txt` .&#x20;

In the other direction, copying from a case sensitive system to another that is not case sensitive can cause files to be overwritten, and folders to have their contents merged, if their case *insensitive* names are a match.
